The Los Angeles Chargers have opened the 2026 NFL season with an 0-7 record, prompting growing frustration from quarterback Justin Herbert and widespread calls for the dismissal of offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel.
Herbert's patience has worn thin as the offense continues to struggle under McDaniel's direction. The Chargers' winless start has intensified pressure on the coaching staff, with fans and analysts alike demanding a change at the offensive coordinator position.
Herbert, a former Pro Bowl selection, has been unable to elevate a unit that ranks near the bottom of the league in key offensive categories. The team's inability to sustain drives and convert scoring opportunities has fueled speculation about McDaniel's future with the organization.
The Chargers' next game offers a critical opportunity to reverse the trend, but the mounting criticism suggests that a coaching adjustment may be imminent if results do not improve.
